“I’m reading Morgan Talty’s first book, ‘Night of the Living Rez,’ which is fantastic! It’s super rare that I read fiction, so I know it’s amazing. I liked hearing Talty talk at an event recently before I read the book, and he said lots of cool things applicable to anyone (who is) creating.” — CAROLINE LOSNECK, Portland
